Backup your family pictures... Now!

 There is no reason not to anymore. Flickr (flickr.com) offers 1 terabyte of free storage for your pictures at whatever resolution you saved them at originally. This improves on Google+ storage that is maxed out at 15 Gigabytes for resolutions higher than 2048px. For Android users, your pictures can be automatically synchronized on Google+ at 2048px (on the longest edge = approx. 4 Mb.) resolution and there is no limit to the quantities you can store.

Keep in mind that your laptop or desktop hard drive WILL fail one day. The only safe backups are in the cloud or anywhere else outside your home.
